Realizing Dreams LLC

In the Realizing Dreams Living and Learning Community (LLC), students will examine the formation of identity, beauty and icons, family, education, race, class, gender, and individual opportunity as it relates to people's ability to name and achieve their dreams.

Students will:

examine the history of the hopes and aspirations of our nation's leaders and ask if the proverbial "American Dream" truly was available to everyone through the past two centuries

deepen their appreciation of how race, class, and gender historically and psychologically have impacted the dreamers and leaders who shaped our country

identify goals for their four years at Cabrini College, clarify their dreams for graduation and beyond, and develop skills that will help them achieve those dreams

Realizing Dreams is a dynamic experience in and out of the classroom, and complements courses in psychology, history, and English, to name a few.

Visits to museums and historical sites in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., allow students to examine how our country was founded upon the dreams of leaders.

As an active member of Realizing Dreams, students:

develop written and oral communication skills

collaborate with faculty members, a "master learner" upperclassman, and community leaders

live with a group of students who are collectively engaged in learning both inside and outside of the classroom through linked classes, exciting immersion trips, guest speakers, and integrated technology

present research at an academic symposium
